In Deepwater: A report back from the Gulf

Interested in finding out what's really happening in the Gulf? Hear from two experts who have been in the region since the blowout occurred.

Texan shrimper-turned- activist Diane Wilson and Exxon Valdez survivor and marine biologist Riki Ott (Earth Island project director of Ultimate Civics) take a break from their ongoing work in the Gulf to report on the clean-up effort, the long-term effects on the environment, human health, and local communities, and how BP can be held accountable.

Wilson is the author of An Unreasonable Woman: A True Story of Shrimpers, Politicos, Polluters and Ott is the author of Not One Drop, and is featured in the film Black Wave, about the ongoing legacy of the Exxon Valdez oil spill.

Together, they'll provide an unflinching look at one of the worst environmental disasters of our time, with an emphasis on what we're going to do about it.
